The Williamson County Fair continues to draw residents from Southern Illinois and beyond. The grandstand events still thrill young and old alike and the Saturday Championship Demo Derby is always sold out long before the first car takes to the track. Local residents bring their arts and crafts for cash prizes and of course bragging rights with the ribbons. Horsemen have enjoyed harness races on the same track for over a hundred years. On the east end of the grounds, Western, Gaited, and Speed horse shows are well attended.
